Flan cake, also known as leche flan cake or crème caramel cake, is a Filipino chiffon or sponge cake ( mamón) baked with a layer of leche flan ( crème caramel) on top and drizzled with caramel syrup. It is sometimes known as "custard cake", which confuses it with yema cake. [1] [2] [3] [4] Modern versions of flan cake can be cooked with a variety of added ingredients. An example is the use of ube cake as the base. [5] [6]
A similar Filipino dessert that uses a steamed cupcake ( puto mamón) as the base is known as puto flan. [7] Flan cake is very similar to the Puerto Rican dish flancocho, except the latter includes cream cheese. [8]
